Cardio-free diet jim karas
+You+just+do+it+your+way+and+in+your+own+time. +The+exact+weight+is+less+important+than+the+trend. +In+a+short+period+of+time+I+went+from+140+to+176. +Rather+than+give+up+and+quit%2c+tread+water+for+a+while. +Still+going+strong+eating+once+a+day%2c+but+having+some+difficulty+establishing+a+cut+off+time+for+not+eating. +I+have+an+app+called+myfitnesspal+on+my+iPhone+and+I+use+it+to+track+my+food+and+exercise. +I+am+not+greedy+to+get+back+to+110+pounds. +The+last+place+we+tend+to+lose+it+is+where+we+most+want+to+see+it+gone. My+youngest+is+now+5%2c+so+the+baby+days+are+long+gone. +I+love+only+eating+1+lunch+a+day+as+I+feel+I+sleep+better+at+night+without+needing+to+digest+food+in+my+stomach. +With+force+reductions+and+the+government+looking+for+ways+to+cut+back%2c+Sailors+are+being+let+go+for+not+being+within+body+composition+standards. +Evening+meal+meat+and+2+veg%2c+dessert+fruit+and+yoghurt. +I+have+been+doing+one+meal+a+day+for+6+weeks+and+it+is+working+well. +The+same+motivation+also+got+me+back+on+the+diet+after+I+fell+off+the+wagon+a+couple+of+times. +I+generally+get+hungry+around+11. +Anyways+on+the+one+meal+a+day+diet%3a+I+used+to+do+that+in+High+School+along+with+running+every+day+and+dropped+from+203+lbs+to+about+158+to+get+in+shape+for+AROTC+(although+I+was+really+skinny+runner+type%2c+and+after+a+couple+months+of+PT+was+up+to+about+170+from+putting+on+muscle). +I+agree+with+you+on+trying+to+make+this+diet+not+feel+like+its+a+diet%2cand+to+m+ake+it+as+close+to+my+normal+and+still+giving+me+results. +Instead+of+getting+on+with+doing+something+positive+you+end+up+in+a+perpetual+state+of+inaction+and+unable+to+commit. +I+now+feeling+hopeful+that+I+will+be+able+to+loose+more+weight. +I+pretty+much+ate+anything+I+wanted%2c+but+to+be+fair+I+already+had+a+reasonably+balanced+diet+with+fruit+and+vegetables+featuring+strongly+in+many+of+my+meals. +I+live+in+Bavaria%2c+maybe+we+could+share+more+of+our+experince+about+the+One+meal+a+day%3a-). +In+fact%2c+when+I+eat+in+the+morning%2c+especially+heavy+breakfast%2c+I+get+stomach+ache. +That+internal+clock+has+now+been+reset+and+its+great+being+in+control. +You+mix+it+with+water+(you+have+to%2c+all+you+will+burn+your+throat)%2c+and+slug+it. +I+have+to+say+Thank+you+for+your+honesty+and+sharing+your+experience. +Sorry+for+the+delay+in+approving+some+of+the+comments%2c+and+apologies+for+appearing+to+ignore+you. +I+should+tell+you+how+am+following+this+diet%2c+I+drink+a+cup+of+coffee+in+the+morning+before+going+to+work+and+another+cup+around+midday+with+lot+of+water+throughout+the+day. +The+great+thing+about+this+is+I+eat+what+the+familiy+eats. +I+like+eating+good+food+(pizza%2c+fried+rice%2c+bacon%2c+etc)+and+I+like+feeling+full%2c+but+I+can+deal+with+hunger%2c+so+one+meal+a+day+was+the+obvious+diet+for+me. +Two+years+ago+I+was+226+pounds+and+I+have+this+diet+to+thank+for+that. +This+week%2c+I+decided+to+start+drinkin+g+water+and+things+have+not+been+going+well. +Even+eating+one+good+meal+per+day+is+not+as+easy+a+diet+as+I+thought+it+would+be. +The+problem+is+that+even+though+I+am+over+the+moon+for+losing+the+weight%2c+i+am+uneasy+with+the+notion+of+not+drinking+water. +I+have+decided+to+stop+drinking+water+and+and+do+a+complete+dry+fast+till+6pm. +I+thought+this+would+be+a+place+where+I+can+post+my+results+along+the+way. +This+is+about+a+1250+calorie+deficit+per+day. +Also+any+time+during+the+day+I+can+have+a+yoghurt+and+banana. +Two+meal+with+one+of+them+eaten+late+evening%2c+like+suppertime%2c+also+works+very+well+for+me+and+I+sometimes+slip+into+that+routine+when+I+get+bored+with+just+one+meal. +The+article+was+about+his+capability+as+a+leader%2c+not+about+dieting+or+weight+loss%2c+but+as+an+aside+it+was+mentioned+that+he+ate+only+one+meal+a+day. +There+are+millions+of+people+in+the+world+who+survive+on+a+lot+less+food+than+I+do. +Then+I+realized+that+this+is+exactly+or+close+to+the+1-meal+a+day+plan. +I+really+believe+everyone+is+different+so+everyone+will+respond+differently+to+diets%2c+something+you+have+clearly+shown+and+I+am+grateful+to+you+for+sharing. +Those+of+us+who+continue+to+get+up+after+we+fall+will+surely+reach+our+goals. +Superfoods+are+super+but+they+are+also+expensive+and+they+are+not+the+miraculous+missing+link+in+a+successful+diet. +You+need+to+apply+common+sense+to+this+diet. +I+too+will+keep+this+quiet+as+I+feel+the+more+I+announce+im+on+a+diet+the+more+I+fail. +But+if+you+have+any+doubts+at+all+you+should+see+a+doctor. +I+think+in+summary%2c+the+trick+is+to+have+a+new+eating+plan+to+take+over+from+the+one+meal+diet+and+then+to+monitor+your+weight+periodically. +Jennifer%2c+it+was+good+to+see+an+update+from+you. +I+find+that+it+intensifies+my+irritability%2c+so+I+think+I+may+have+to+limit+my+coffee+to+a+twice+weekly+(during+weekends)+indulgence. +Only+working+there+for+1+month+but+I+gain+up+to+5+kg. +With+4+low+fat+crackers+I+had+the+half+of+the+pan. +I+would+have+many+lunch+appointment+with+many+new+moms+around+here. +I+was+all+the+way+back+up+to+176+when+a+weight+loss+contest+began+at+work. +Anyway+the+reason+I+am+posting+is+this+is+currently+day+one+of+the+diet+for+me. +Not+only+this+i+take+only+home-cooked+food+and+no+packet+food%2c+no+oily+food+for+the+last+2+moth. +So%2c+the+scale+is+always+wrong+in+some+way+or+another. +During+this+time+I+met+my+fiance%2c+and+got+pregnant+with+my+son. +Do+you+cut+out+carbs+or+just+eat+a+regular+meat+and+2+veg. +For+me%2c+this+has+been+the+most+successful+diet+ever. +I+re-read+your+blog+and+have+only+just+seen+that+you+had+two+meals+on+the+weekend. +This+type+of+diet+suits+my+lifestyle+perfectly+and+I+wish+I+had+found+out+a+long+time+ago. +I+really+really+need+to+lose+at+a+minimum+about+60+pounds. +I+enjoyed+eating+once+because+I+could+have+small+meals+and+still+have+my+favourite+biscuits+or+even+some+chocolate+after+my+meals. +You+must+do+your+own+research+and+you+should+consult+a+medical+professional+before+embarking+on+a+diet. +I+am+doing+1+meal+a+day+and+fruit+but+recently+the+last+week+ive+not+had+any+fruit. +I+pretty+much+eat+anything+and+everything+that+takes+my+fancy. +I+am+overweight+by+25+kgs+(55lbs)+and+have+been+struggling+with+for+the+last+ten+years. +not+very+fat+but+I+do+have+this+gut+that+ive+been+trying+to+get+rid+of+since+I+was+About+14+years+old. +Eating+one+meal+a+day+got+me+from+205lbs+to+175lbs+over+a+reasonable+time. +I+needed+a+diet+that+suited+me+and+my+existing+lifestyle. +Like+you+say%2c+the+type+of+diet+working+for+every+individual+probably+varies. +This+was+not+due+to+a+conscious+efford%2c+basically+I+was+studying%2c+working+and+then+did+my+degree+etc+and+I+only+had+time+for+the+evening+meal%2c+or+my+body+seemed+to+be+happy%2c+perfectly+tuned%2c+I+did+not+put+on+weight+and+I+did+not+lose+weight%2c+I+was+in+perfect+weight. +Last+time+I+weighed+(a+week+ago)+I+was+down+16lbs. +Extended+periods+of+fasting+can+lead+to+feeling+faint+or+dizzy. +I+started+doing+this+out+of+a+huff+with+myself+because+no+diets+were+working+and+I+feel+wonderful. +By+the+way%2c+I+once+lived+on+nothing+but+MREs+for+2+months+and+lost+20+pounds+as+a+result. +I+would+also+drink+green+tea+with+some+vinegar+and+honey+in+it+which+helped+suppress+my+appetite+after+dinner. +I+do+have+a+mid+morning+snack+(boiled+egg+or+celery+or+apple)+and+mid+afternoon+snack+(like+the+mid+morning+one)+then+eat+my+meal+after+5+sometime. +I+chose+a+14+oz+steak+with+french+fries+and+salad+and+alittle+alcohol. +I+started+1+meal+a+day+3+days+ago+with+the+following+aims%3a-. +I+like+how+you+say+the+snack+is+to+fight+off+hunger+pangs+and+not+to+have+a+pleasurable+experience. +I+eat+an+Atkins+bar+for+lunch+and+drink+tons+of+water+through+the+day. +Nothing+else+was+working%2c+not+eating+three+healthy+meals+a+day+and+not+running+long+distance+several+times+a+week. +Hence+why+so+many+studies+contradict+each+other+in+dietary+research. +Your+advice+for+maintaining+the+weight+makes+perfect+sense+and+is+much+appreciated. +I+do+plan+to+drink+at+least+2-3+lts+of+water. +Though+things+are+still+tough%2c+I+am+taking+back+control+of+my+life%2c+starting+with+my+weight. +I+could+easily+see+myself+eating+a+chicken+salad+for+my+evening+meal+(during+the+summer+at+least). +Or+perhaps+it+does+work+to+keep+your+metabolism+going%2c+but+the+fact+is+that+severe+deficits+also+work%2c+and+the+one+meal+a+day+(without+a+drastic+deficit%2c+works+great+too. +I+made+a+conscious+decison+not+to+take+on+any+additional+exercise+other+than+walking+once+or+twice+a+day+with+the+dogs. +Anyway+thats+the+negative+stuff+out+of+the+way. +5+months+now+and+have+gone+from+220+pounds+to+199. +Fifth%2c+if+I+have+to+eat+something+then+I+go+ahead+and+eat+enough+to+get+me+to+dinner. +It+would+be+the+worst+thing+in+the+world+to+faint+while+at+the+wheel+of+a+car+or+operating+machinery. +So+glad+to+read+your+story+and+know+there+are+others+out+there+who+are+experiencing+the+benefits+of+this+lifestyle. +I+last+did+this+way+of+eating+in+my+20s+and+it+worked+fabulously+for+me. +I+think+the+biggest+issue+with+making+a+change+like+this+is+when+people+try+to+change+their+basic+nature. +If+I+like+to+plan+things%2c+then+I+make+detailed+plans+of+what+I+will+eat+and+when. +I+once+did+this+kind+of+diet%2c+but+unknowingly. +I+keep+a+case+of+water+in+a+small+fridge+in+my+workshop+on+the+farm. +Obviously%2c+I+had+to+watch+the+plate+size%2c+because+I+wanted+to+lose+those+saddlebags%2c+but+now+while+maintaining%2c+I+have+my+huge+dinner%2c+my+dessert+on+weekdays%2cand+indulge+profusely+on+weekends. +I+know+from+my+own+experience+that+it+takes+persistence+and+it+takes+time. +Hey%2c+i+wanted+to+start+this+diet+and+i+had+a+question. +I+think+that+counting+calories+is+the+better+way+to+go+with+this+diet. +Eating+one+main+meal+at+dinner+time+of+what+you+actually+WANT+to+eat+rather+than+what+your+told+is+healthy+makes+this+way+of+eating+easier+to+sustain+for+life. +The+small+snacks+are+a+brilliant+idea+because+they+keep+you+on+track. +Anyway%2c+when+I+started+reading+about+OMAD+I+thought+I+would+try+it. +I+was+so+impressed+by+it%2c+I+decided+to+investigate+it+more. +There+have+been+some+days+when+I+am+really+hungry+either+mid+morning+or+early+afternoon. +How+can+it+be+natural+for+people+to+eat+every+3+hours. +If+I+get+hungry+during+the+day%2c+I+eat+some+natural+almonds+or+a+spoon+full+of+yoghurt+or+have+some+coffee+and+that+seems+to+work. +I+guess+if+you+could+classify+it+as+snacking. +Thanks+for+sharing+the+important+point+of+being+too+strict+and+highlighting+that+there+can+be+medical+implications+and+complications. +Please+note+that+never+during+the+day+i+feel+like+starved. +I+know+that+you+put+the+weight+back+on+again+but+sometimes+when+life+hits+you+hard+you+just+have+to+find+a+way+to+survive. +I+intend+to+stick+with+the+one+meal+a+day+plan+pretty+much+forever%2c+because+it+lets+me+have+the+body+I+want+without+obsessing+over+calories. +I+would+have+done+some+exercise+last+week+but+I+got+a+wicked+sunburn+on+my+lower+back+and+then+I+got+sick. +I+have+not+check+my+weight+but+I+feel+very+light. +All+morning+until+11%3a30am+I+was+perfectly+fine+but+around+11%3a30am+(which+is+my+danger+zone. +Its+mental+torture+to+watch+this+and+a+diet+killer. +Working+through+lunch+and+into+the+early+afternoon+is+a+bonus. +Last+week%2c+I+started+back+on+eating+one+meal+a+day+and+I+actually+lost+half+a+stone+(+7lbs). +Throughout+the+day+I+drink+water+and+tea. +EAch+time+I+tried+to+lose+weight+I+was+successful. +I+hope+it+continues+to+work+well+for+you%2c+and+thanks+for+taking+the+time+to+leave+a+message. +Instead+of+dividing+up+my+calorie+intake+between+a+breakfast+that+I+never+really+wanted+in+the+first+place%2c+and+a+so-so+diet+lunch+and+then+making+do+with+the+few+calories+I+have+left+to+eat+a+weird+meal+different+to+everyone+else+in+the+household+or+at+at+the+restaurant. +Keep+at+it+and+please+let+us+know+about+your+porgress. +After+alot+of+false+starts%2c+I+managed+to+stick+to+it+and+lost+20lbs. +So%2c+I+decided+to+have+my+dinner+early(despite+I+generally+eat+my+dinner+around+6%3a30pm-7%3a00pm). +Also+if+I+get+bored+I+can+have+an+apple+as+a+treat. +You+are+rewarded+by+eating+your+favorite+meals+every+single+evening%2c+and+because+of+that%2c+unlike+other+diets%2c+this+diet+is+sustainable. +Hi+Krystal%2c+I+think+you+summed+it+up+very+nicely. +The+small+intake+of+food+for+breakfast+and+then+the+small+snack+later+in+the+day+if+you+feel+you+need+it+works+really+well. +Most+of+dieting+is+mindset%2c+breaking+old+habits+and+forming+new+ones. +I+am+totally+amazed+at+how+little+food+I+really+need. +In+that+way+the+body+never+goes+into+starvation+mode+as+it+never+knows+from+one+day+to+the+next+how+many+calories+its+going+to+get. +I+would+feel+terrible+if+you+tried+this+and+it+made+you+poorly. +Skip+breakfast%2c+have+lunch+with+enough+carbohydrates%2c+Then+Dinner+with+Low+carbs+or+with+carbs. +My+Basal+Metabolic+Rate+(from+a+website)+is+about+2500+calories. +The+most+important+thing+is+to+do+something. +I+find+a+small+sugar+free+Greek+yogurt+or+hard+bolied+egg+with+a+fresh+fruit+is+fine%2c+then+maybe+a+handful+of+almonds+and+another+fruit+mid+afternoon+if+I+need+it. +I+am+going+to+now+track+weight+loss+and+see+if+I+cant+get+a+little+slimmer+with+one+meal+a+day+and+some+excersize. +I+needed+a+diet+that+limited+my+choices+and+left+me+to+make+only+good+decisions. +Midmorning(around+11%3a00)+I+eat+fruit+with+low+fat+plain+yogurt. +I+caught+this+on+your+blog+and+it+made+me+laugh. +I+eat+very+light+breakfast+and+drink+coffee%2c+just+to+accompany+my+husband+and+my+kids+like+most+of+normal+people+do. +Because%2c+naturally+when+one+cannot+afford+food%2c+there+will+be+a+tendency+to+choose+the+cheapest+food+items+on+offer. +I+am+over+40%2c+no+children+and+I+need+to+lose+30+pounds. +Being+In+control+of+your+destiny+is+a+great+feeling. +Point+here+is+I+go+to+gym+to+get+those+negative+1000+Calories. +It+would+have+killed+me+to+wait+a+whole+day+just+to+tuck+into+a+bowl+of+salad+and+mung+beans. +Just+another+question%2c+i+cant+always+have+my+meal+at+the+same+time+for+some+reasons+but+always+between+6-8+pm+so+can+i+have+my+meal+for+ex%3a+the+first+day+at+6+the+second+at+8+the+third+and+6%3a30. +What+has+amazed+me+the+most+is+that+it+is+like+my+hunger+has+been+switched+off%2c+I+used+to+be+starving+hungry+an+hour+after+breakfast+each+morning%2c+then+hungry+again+after+lunch+and+in+the+evening+I+could+easily+put+away+another+big+meal+and+desert+and+was+ALWAYS+craving+things. +I+also+enjoy+the+fact+that+I+feel+satisfied+during+the+evening+so+I+get+the+psychological+boost+from+spending+a+few+hours+with+food+in+my+belly. +There+are+just+some+days+when+I+have+to+snack. +Of+course+you+can+tweak+it+to+suit+your+needs%2c+but+as+a+general+framework%2c+it+works+quite+well. +And+I+guess+it+depends+what+you+mean+by+oily+food. +I+also+found+that+putting+in+two+good+days+at+the+start+of+the+week+where+I+ate+a+small+meal+in+the+evening%2c+would+allow+me+to+be+less+stringent+for+the+rest+of+the+week. +I+have+always+found+that+eating+that+many+times+a+day+to+stay+full+just+seemed+too+tedious. +On+the+other+hand%2c+i+hate+sleeping+hungry. +Down+from+177+several+weeks+ago+to+171+as+of+today. +Now+my+mind+which+previously+craved+sugars+and+carbohydrate+seems+to+know+what+is+good+and+what+isnt. +Then%2c+I+hardly+eat+any+thing+after+that+until+dinner+as+I+never+enjoy+eatting+alone+during+the+day%2c+unless+I+have+a+lunch+appointment+with+my+girl+friends. +Last+week%2c+I+ate+between+6+and+7pm%2c+but+this+week%2c+I+eat+between+6+and+9pm. +I+strongly+love+this+one+meal+a+day+plan+just+need+to+find+the+best+way+to+make+it+sustainable+for+me+looooong+term. +I+feel+as+if+I+was+ment+to+find+ur+article+thank+you+again. +When+I+started+out+on+this+I+had+some+very+powerful+reasons+to+want+to+achieve+my+goal. +old%2c+5ft10+220lbs+and+the+goal+is+175. +For+the+past+months%2c+after+we+moved+to+new+neighborhood%2c+I+was+trying+so+hard+to+blend+in. +Your+diet+is+actually+is+THE+MOST+HEALTHY+DIET+FOR+PEOPLE+LIKE+ME. +For+me%2c+the+tea+with+whole+milk+and+one+sugar+got+me+through+the+day. +EVEN+if+I+get+to+115%2c+I+will+feel+healthy+and+fit+into+all+of+my+clothes. +This+got+me+down+to+172+in+less+than+5+months. +The+law+of+diminishing+returns+certainly+seems+to+kick+in. +In+fact+I+got+it+wrong+a+lot+in+the+beginning. +I+find+that+I+often+learn+more+from+my+failures+than+my+successes. +But+I+also+found+it+way+too+hard+to+eat+rabbit+food+multiple+times+a+day+for+six+days+a+week+with+only+one+or+two+cheat+meals+on+the+weekend. +Basically%2c+on+the+farm+I+get+up+at+7%3a00+am+and+do+all+the+hot+sweaty+work+like+hand+harvesting+food%2c+hand+weeding%2c+moving+dirt+(with+a+shovel)%2c+construction%2c+etc. +For+one+week+I+did+not+eat+or+drink+anything%2c+even+water%2c+until+6pm. +You+mentioned+a+lot+of+great+things+there%2c+but+the+key+for+me+was+how+you+said+it+made+you+feel. +I+used+to+do+Judo+(when+I+was+younger+and+less+broken)+and+the+weight+categories+were+in+Kgs. +I+was+so+struggled+and+never+lost+any+grams. +At+5+foot+7. +It+looks+like+a+promising+forum+with+some+nice+people. +So+I+am+back+to+say+I+have+started+the+diet+once+again%2c+about+3+weeks+ago%2c+and+have+stuck+to+it+to+a+tee+this+time+with+no+issues+and+thus+far+have+lost+11+pounds. +Judging+by+the+pictures+I+saw%2c+the+man+looks+in+great+shape+and+clearly+manages+to+find+enough+energy+to+go+running+every+day+AND+command+the+day+to+day+operations+of+the+military+in+a+war+zone. +The+thing+that+keeps+discouraging+me+is+my+weight+on+the+scale+which+is+still+the+same+at+93kg. +I+have+not+weighed+under+200+for+many+years+so+its+very+encouraging. +Fantastic+read+and+just+want+I+was+looking+for. +Same+thing+because+of+work+etc+no+one+knew+I+was+on+a+one+meal+a+day+plan. +I+wrote+earlier+and+just+thought+I+would+check+in. +If+you+get+to+the+end+of+your+meal+without+really+tasting+and+savoring+it%2c+you+might+not+feel+inclined+to+go+through+it+all+again+tomorrow. +Losing+the+last+of+the+fat+has+been+more+difficult. +As+of+tomorrow+I+am+going+to+do+it+and+keep+my+own+little+blog. +From+time+to+time+I+have+no+doubt+I+will+run+2-3+miles%2c+again+without+eating+before+doing+it. +A+little+will+power+during+the+day+goes+a+long+way. +In+the+evening+i+went+out+for+a+meal+with+some+friends+and+i+went+to+a+steakhouse. +Yesterday+i+went+for+a+run%2c+only+about+2+or+three+miles%2c+no+food%2c+and+it+was+a+piece+of+cake. +I+started+work+and+found+that+as+I+was+so+busy%2c+I+was+only+eating+dinner+with+my+family+(I+lived+at+home+with+my+parents+at+the+time). +I+eat+eggs%2c+rice+(1+-2+times+a+week+)+and+one+meal. +This+is+pretty+much+how+I+feel+about+the+whole+deal. +Bile+is+not+returned+to+the+gallbladder+if+unused+in+digestion. +If+things+get+really+tough%2c+there+are+many+local+food+pantries%2c+churches%2c+and+charities+that+can+help. +I+know+it+was+only+because+I+stopped+caring+about+taking+care+of+myself+during+the+last+six+months+tho. +While+on+this+diet+i+wanted+to+go+jogging+or+walking+everyday+to+speed+up+the+weight+loss+process. +I+am+74+kilos+and+need+to+get+down+to+57+by+end+June+2014. +I+see+opportunities+every+were+before+there+was+sadness+and+despair. +It+looks+like+we+do+have+some+similarities. +She+keeps+munching+or+eating+every+hour+and+keep+offering+me. +At+that+point+i+was+frustrated+at+my+efforts+at+weight+loss. +Things+still+going+well+and+I+am+finding+it+easier+to+stick+to+this+and+the+hunger+pangs+are+becoming+more+easier+to+manage+and+ignore. +For+me+I+wanted+something+close+enough+to+my+normal+diet. +When+I+feel+hungry+it+reminds+me+that+there+are+others+much+worse+off+and+if+they+can+go+without+food+for+days%2c+then+I+can+certainly+manage+it+for+a+few+hours. +For+me+that+time+is+6pm+which+gives+me+an+hour+to+eat+and+limits+my+opportunity+to+damage+my+diet. +I+saw+you+drank+tea+alot+during+the+day+but+i+am+not+a+tea+or+coffee+drinker. +Best+of+all+you+feel+good+about+the+whole+thing. +You+then+try+to+have+a+piece+of+fruit+as+desert. +You+can+lose+several+pounds+and+see+no+real+difference+in+the+way+you+look. +I+keep+on+sipping+iced+tea+through+out+the+afternoon. +not+that+I+am+hungry+but+as+a+habit. +My+own+experience+has+taught+me+to+master+the+mindset+of+the+diet+first+and+then+progress+to+the+strenuous. +Also+i+was+thinking+that+i+am+the+only+guy+doing+this+way%2c+but+really+got+impressed+and+motivated+seeing+that+there+are+many+people+in+the+world+who+are+thinking+in+similar+lines. +I+have+been+reading+your+blog+for+a+while+now+and+was+so+inspired+by+your+weight+loss+success+with+one+meal+a+day. +And+when+I+did+start+back+eating+I+over+ate+every+time+so+what+weight+I+did+lose+I+gained+back+and+more. +I+am+not+necessarily+on+a+strict+one+meal+diet+but+it+is+very+close%2c+I+have+two+Biscuit+and+tea(whole+milk+and+sugar)+first+thing+in+morning+followed+by+a+smoke. +Thank+you%2c+I+have+some+similarities+with+you. +I+hardly+drink+and+I+do+not+smoke%2c+but+still%2c+I+am+not+surprised+when+I+ended+up+having+gastritis+and+ulcer. +I+think+you+added+a+great+point+to+the+discussion+in+that+you+touched+upon+the+impact+of+budgetary+restraints+on+your+eating+habits. +Also+is+it+OK+to+exercise+to+speed+up+the+weight+loss. +I+want+to+stress+that+I+am+not+paying+attention+to+WHAT+I+eat+or+HOW+MUCH+I+eat. +You+start+to+make+better+choices+(not+always+but+often+enough+to+make+a+difference). +So+on+days+where+I+am+REALLY+hungry%2c+and+decide+to+make+an+early+big+meal%2c+then+at+night+right+before+bed%2c+I+will+have+a+small+bowl+of+fiber+cereal+(with+a+little+milk)+and+an+apple-+so+that+I+go+to+bed+with+food+in+my+stomach+and+can+sleep. +Also%2c+and+more+telling%2c+I+had+to+buy+new+jeans+this+week. +I+know+it+works+for+me+because+I+did+this+ten+years+ago+and+lost+20+kg+in+4+months%2c+from+105+to+85. +One+thing+I+had+to+remember+to+do+was+to+recalculate+my+maintenance+calories+for+my+new+weight. +I+wish+you+well%2c+and+I+look+forward+to+hearing+about+your+progress. +Eventually%2c+by+shopping+and+planning+carefully+and+taking+advantage+of+coupons%2c+sales%2c+and+free+items+offered+with+a+minimum+purchase%2c+I+found+it+was+actually+costing+less+than+eating+out+or+loading+up+on+junk. +I+enjoyed+reading+the+posts+here+and+have+just+embarked+myself+on+a+similar+quest. +Thank+you+for+the+affirmation+I+needed+to+stick+to+what+my+instincts+have+told+me+for+many+years+is+best+for+me. +Eat+two+meals+a+day+and+gradually+work+back+to+having+one+when+you+feel+like+it. +I+do+need+to+ask%2c+is+it+ok+to+drink+2-3+cups+if+coffee+with+sugar%2c+no+milk+or+cream. +I+work+from+home+while+my+husband+works+in+the+city. +I+look+at+your+pictures+and+I+can+see+such+a+difference+in+your+body. +One+meal+a+day+was+a+means+to+an+end+for+me. +There+is+no+way+to+lose+weight+without+feeling+that+feeling+(whatever+that+feels+like+to+you). +I+find+that+business+with+the+weight+happens+to+me+too. +I+could+have+done+it+quicker+but+the+price+for+the+quick+result+was+more+than+I+was+willing+to+pay. +The+meal+will+be+big+enough+to+fill+my+stomach+and+even+make+me+feel+slightly+too+full. +I+ate+all+the+time%2c+any+kind+of+food+I+wanted. +and+65+pounds+overweight.
+Keep+in+mind+that+this+can+be+a+long+process+and+try+to+get+your+feelings+of+success+from+sticking+to+your+plan+rather+than+the+apparent+lack+of+physical+results. +After+thinking+about+your+reply+especially+the+comments+that+im+in+the+early+stages+of+my+weight+loss+plan+im+taking+your+advice+on+fine+tuning+what+can+work+best+for+me. +It+was+difficult+to+tell+because+for+me+it+was+mostly+guesswork. +You+really+try+to+get+more+vegetables%2c+protein+(any+meat+and+eggs)+with+fat+(olive+oil)+and+a+little+bit+of+carbs+(rice%2c+potatoes%2c+beans%2c+pasta)+in+to+your+plate+each+day. +In+fact+for+me+that+has+been+the+toughest+part+but+ultimately+very+rewarding. +Its+funny+that+eating+less+gives+you+more+energy. +I+choose+to+eat+aroiund+5+or+6pm+because+it+fits+in+with+family+life. +But+these+foods+are+generally+very+HIGH+carbs+foods+such+as+breads%2c+sugary+cakes%2c+pastas+with+added+preservatives+and+treatment+agents+which+are+all+very+bad+for+the+digestive+system. +When+I+stepped+on+the+scale+a+week+ago+and+saw+my+weight%2c+I+was+mortified. %0d +I+would+drink+lots+of+water+or+coffee+with+no+sugar. +So+wait+ten+or+fifteen+minutes+and+then+eat+your+dinner+in+peace. +When+I+tell+people+what+I+weigh%2c+no+one+can+believe+its+that+high. +And+whilst+I+do+eat+one+meal+a+day%2c+quite+often+I+eat+more+than+once+a+day%2c+I+just+try+to+eat+one+main+meal. +With+a+wife+(who+cooks+good+meals)+and+a+baby+and+a+lack+of+time+to+exercise%2c+I+gained+a+LOT+of+weight. +I+wake+up+around+5%3a30+am+M+to+F%2c+and+I+would+go+through+the+motions+of+eating+breakfast+because+I+thought+it+was+the+right+thing+to+do. +My+very+light+is+to+feel+a+little+hungry+but+not+until+gassy. +They+constipate+you+so+badly+that+you+get+stomach+pains+after+eating+them+for+two+days. +The+simple+idea+behind+one+meal+a+day+is+that+your+task+is+simply+to+eat+fewer+calories+than+your+body+needs. +I+am+back+from+vacation+and+ate+waaaaaaay+more+than+once+a+day. +I+drink+tea+or+coffee+(both+decaf)+and+fresh+juice+and+1+smoothie%2c+again+anytime+during+the+day. +The+idea+to+treat+lunch+as+a+small+snack+instead+of+a+meal+is+a+good+one. +I+do+go+to+bed+early%2c+as+suggested%2c+though. +I+do+excercise+2-3+times+a+week%2c+2+hour+session%2c+but+not+Saturday-Sunday. +I+then+went+through+a+very+trying+time+and+no+longer+felt+in+control+of+my+life+and+as+a+result%2c+I+put+everything+back+and+because+I+stopped+working+out%2c+I+look+and+feel+flabby. +Your+weight+loss+is+stready+and+not+too+extreme. +Snacking+a+few+times+a+day+is+no+bad+thing. +Today+was+the+first+full+day+I+tried+this+approach. +I+did+notice+yesterday+when+I+weighed+myself+in+the+middle+of+the+day+I+weighed+235%2c+so+I+knew+it+was+just+a+matter+of+time+until+I+weighed+that+in+the+morning. +I+am+a+confirmed+believer+and+want+to+get+down+to+250lbs+in+the+next+three+months. +So+my+main+goal+is+to+lose+the+last+bit+of+fat+(15lbs). +I+started+following+a+similar+eating+plan+about+a+year+ago. +Not+too+fast+and+not+too+slow+but+still+allows+you+some+room+to+manoeuvre. +Eating+one+meal+a+day+is+WAAAYYYYY+easier+for+me+than+eating+many+small+meals. +Its+David+from+May+2012+in+the+post+up+above. +I+can+just+order+normal+meals+and+eat+them+without+drawing+attention+to+myself. +I+hope+this+lifestyle+change+will+get+me+back+to+my+normal+self. +My+readings+in+the+am+are+around+120%2c+I+am+not+on+any+insulin. +I+am+very+glad+to+come+across+your+article. +I+also+have+progressed+in+my+exercise+and+now+walk+for+a+bit+over+an+hour%2c+3+days+a+week. +A+big+part+of+why+this+works+for+me+is+how+I+feel+about+it. +I+am+43+years+old. +Also%2c+what+type+of+snacks+were+you+eating. +I+do+some+running+although+not+consistently+maybe+4+times+a+week. +For+example%2clast+night+I+had+salad%2c+oven+cooked+fresh+salmon+with+soy+and+ginger%2c+brown+rice+(a+lot)+and+broccoli+and+3+glasses+of+red+wine. +During+the+First+Gulf+War+they+apparently+had+to+airlift+a+couple+soldiers+to+Germany+because+of+critical+digestion+issues+caused+by+them. +I+admire+your+resolve+to+stick+to+the+plan+7+days+a+week. +I+would+described+my+dinner+but+am+African%2c+our+food+is+different. +The+way+we+feel+determines+what+we+do%2c+so+make+sure+you+feel+strongly+about+it. +Every+now+and+then+I+may+squeeze+in+a+small+snack. +I+have+a+question+for+you%3a+After+you+lost+the+first+20+pounds+and+waited+a+while+to+lose+the+last+10+pounds%2c+how+long+did+you+wait+and+did+you+continue+with+the+1+meal+a+day. +Thanks+for+taking+the+time+to+share+your+experience. +Which+is+largely+why+I+stopped+weighing+myself+and+trusted+the+feel+of+my+waistband+and+the+view+in+the+mirror+(and+later%2c+the+tape+measure). +I+hope+this+is+possible+with+this+diet. +Seriously+though%2c+you+should+be+very+proud+of+yourself. +I+started+eating+only+meal+last+week+and+lost+half+a+stone%2c+but+i+did+it+by+not+eating+or+drinking+anything+at+all+until+6pm. +I+had+some+very+specific+reasons+for+choosing+this+approach+and+I+had+tried+other+methods+first. +When+my+health+started+to+suffer%2c+I+realized+it+was+going+to+cost+me+a+lot+more+in+the+long+run+to+continue+my+poor+eating+choices+than+to+find+a+way+to+eat+healthier. +Hoping+to+have+some+summer+support+for+one+meal+a+day. +This+caused+my+weight+to+go+up+to+148+after+the+birth. +On+Thursday+I+started+the+1+meal+a+day+approach+and+you+know+what%2c+I+lived. +I+used+to+exercise+hours+and+hours+a+day+just+to+maintain+my+weight. +My+initial+motivation+to+get+going+with+the+diet+came+from+negative+emotions. +5pm+per+week. +Life+is+already+complicated+enough%2c+so+make+it+simple. +When+it+is+the+only+one+of+the+day+i+wanted+to+take+my+time+tasting+the+textures+were+normally+i+would+just+gulp+without+hardly+chewing. +I+admit+I+did+not+read+the+entire+thing%2c+But+I+have+been+eating+1+meal+per+day+for+4+years+because+I+am+poor+and+I+have+gained+20+kilos+from+doing+so. +Actually%2c+I+started+out+first+with+intermittent+fasting+to+gain+the+control+of+when+to+eat. +I+just+found+this+but+wanted+to+share+that+I+followed+a+similar+regimine+about+3+years+ago+and+lost+110+lbs. +Today+I+weight+61kg+(I+m+very+short)+and+I+will+let+you+guys+know+how+much+I+loose+next+weekend. +I+found+your+site+because+I+just+started+this+diet+and+went+looking+for+others+trying+it. +There+are+certain+things+I+avoid+like+sodas%2c+but+from+time+to+time+I+still+enjoy+a+glass+of+cola. +(I+was+165cm%2c+57+kgs. +I+decided+to+try+this%2c+after+all%2c+like+most+other+overweight+people%2c+I+had+tried+absolutely+everything+over+the+last+10+or+more+years+with+zero+success. +Cheating+is+creeping+into+my+day+and+the+small+cheats+are+really+starting+to+add+up. +Granted+I+have+only+done+2+days+with+1+meal+per+day+as%2c+like+you+I+plan+to+eat+lunch+on+the+weekends. +So%2c+I+have+decided+not+to+weigh+me+every+day. +The+tape+measure+is+a+great+way+to+monitor+your+progress+and+an+inch+is+a+fantastic+achievement. +There+were+some+days+I+got+greedy+and+that+slowed+my+progress. +So+instead+of+just+eating+from+6-7pm%2c+I+eat+from+6-9pm. +The+Gall+Bladder+is+a+one+way+organ+that+stores+concentrated+bile+to+add+to+digestion+when+fats+arrive+in+the+gut. +I+am+very+proud+of+my+achievement+but+its+all+thanks+to+you. +I+think+the+best+way+to+make+the+one+meal+a+day+diet+to+work+is+not+to+go+too+low+on+calorie+intake%2c+and+to+keep+the+diet+as+close+to+balanced+as+you+can. +My+only+guess+as+to+why+my+weight+loss+has+been+so+rapid+is+that+I+was+simply+eating+far+too+much+food%2c+and+had+a+large+surplus+of+calories. +I+am+back+down+to+165+within+2+weeks+but+struggling+to+keep+it+going. +It+pays+to+have+a+rough+idea+of+how+many+calories+your+food+has+but+if+you+start+to+micro+manage+your+food+intake+it+starts+to+get+tedious+and+adds+an+extra+pressure. +Somehow+that+sinks+into+my+subconscious+mind+and+helps+me+on+the+days+when+I+under-eat. +I+then+continued+drinking+tea%2c+but+the+cravings+began+hitting+me+again+and+again%2c+every+damn+hour%3a+1%3a30pm%2c+then+3%3a30pm%2c+then+4%3a30pm. +First+weigh+in+is+this+friday+so+its+exciting+the+fact+that+every+friday+im+going+to+post+my+weight+loss+for+the+week. +I+really+want+to+Take+Part+in+the+race%2c+and+i+want+to+lose+weight+too. +I+wish+I+had+thought+of+doing+this+sooner. +My+husband+is+so+happy+now+that+I+eat+a+normal+adult+portion+size%2c+because+with+the+6+small+meals. +as+my+gym+friends+said+the+older+we+are%2c+the+less+calories+burnt. +It+needs+to+be+simple+because+as+a+work+at+home+parent+with+full+time+responsibility+for+the+childcare%2c+my+life+is+already+complicated+enough. +I+have+been+doing+one+meal+a+day+for+about+2. +I+came+across+this+site+whilst+researching+calorie+restriction+and+the+effect+on+mood. +I+had+to+force+myself+to+eat+and+felt+even+worse. +If+I+have+a+big+breakfast+and+some+chocolate+milk+then+I+could+weigh+240. +I+too+have+heard+that+the+older+we+get+the+fewer+calories+we+need. +The+idea+of+adopting+a+one+meal+a+day+diet+first+came+to+me+when+I+read+an+article+about+an+American+General%2c+Stanley+McChrystal. +Thanks+for+leaving+a+comment+(and+a+compliment). +How+I+look+at+it%2c+you+have+to+break+down+a+wall. +To+be+honest%2c+it+was+tough+for+me+to+handle+food+and+NOT+indulge. +The+last+thing+you+want+having+waited+all+day+to+eat%2c+is+to+sit+at+a+table+with+your+family+and+referee+fights+and+arguments+between+the+kids. +The+scales+showed+a+difference+of+3+lbs+in+two+weigh-ins+within+10+seconds+of+each+other+today. +I+have+fallen+off+the+wagon+for+a+couple+of+days%2c+but+back+on+today. +Hi+guys%2c+I+really+am+struggling+for+over+10+yrs+now. +So+far+i+have+had+some+improvement+but+until+monday+this+week+was+still+struggling. +So+maybe+2+meals+a+day+would+work+well+for+you. +On+week+one%2c+I+was+seeing+a+daily+loss+result+on+the+scales+but+annoyingly+it+seems+to+have+stalled+for+the+last+five+days. +Once+you+get+the+hang+of+skipping+breakfast+then+you+have+that+meal+out+of+the+day. +One+meal+a+day%2c+plus+quality+food%2c+organic%2c+farm+raised+etc. +As+you+know+yesterday+was+my+first+day+of+trying+this+diet. +No+counting%2c+remembering+when+to+eat+next+etc. +I+have+given+myself+rules+about+what+I+can+eat+each+day+and+I+dont+deviate. +It+may+be+critical+for+people+with+diabetes+or+hypoglycemia+and+other+conditions+to+eat+regularly+throughout+the+day%2c+but+for+a+plain+old+food+addict+like+myself+it+just+perpetuates+the+obsession+and+preoccupation+with+food+by+all+the+shopping%2c+planning+and+preparing+of+meals+and+snacks+for+each+feeding. +Ive+been+at+the+same+weight+for+a+while+now. +It+sounds+like+you+have+a+good+thing+going+on+there. +I+have+been+doing+this+for+2+months+with+great+success+(32+lbs+lost). +David%2c+I+am+excited+about+doing+this%2c+but+I+have+type+2diabetes%2ccan+I+still+do+this+one+meal+a+day. +The+sorts+of+things+an+army+officer%2c+like+the+General%2c+might+get+served+up+in+the+mess+tent. +I+keep+it+very+simple%2c+walk+or+run+for+till+I+burn+1000+Calories. +By+the+way%3a+STAVIA+is+a+natural+plant+that+looks+a+bit+like+sage+or+mint. +I+plan+to+weight+myself+tomorrow+and+will+use+that+and+the+benchmark+to+start. +Oh+and+i+forgot+to+mention+my+weight+today+stands+at+12+stone+8+a+drop+of+30+pounds. +David+if+you+know+of+any+or+if+you+can+start+one+please+post+it+here+on+your+blog+(+I+check+your+blog+regularly%3a). +I+think+you+will+eventually+see+the+difference+in+the+mirror+but+if+not+maybe+taking+photos+will+help+you. +Such+is+the+beauty+of+this+diet%2c+fasting+during+the+day+means+my+stomach+feels+fuller+quicker+at+meal+times+and+stops+me+over+eating. +The+results+have+been+shocking%2c+to+say+the+least. +I+find+it+works+the+other+way+around+too%2c+and+WHAMMO+a+sudden+gain. +I+can+imagine+you+feel+very+happy%2c+and+so+you+should%2c+because+you+did+all+the+hard+work%2c+you+made+the+sacrifices+and+you+showed+the+discipline+to+stick+to+the+plan. +My+logic+was+that+I+could+save+the+calories+I+was+drinking+(and+not+enjoying)+from+the+shakes+and+add+them+to+my+evening+meal+so+I+could+enjoy+a+good+sized+meal+with+my+family. +I+love+to+exercise%2c+first+thing+in+the+morning%2c+for+about+1+hour+a+day+6+days+a+week+in+addition+to+eating+only+one+meal+a+day. +So%2c+your+body+uses+the+energy+that+it+gets+from+the+food+that+you+eat. +25+more+lbs+to+go. +I+hate+every+kind+of+apple%2c+but+they+are+very+nutritious+and+have+lots+of+fiber. +Because+I+know+that+this+is+the+only+way+I+can+maintain+a+healthy+weight. +I+tell+myself+that+the+hunger+is+a+good+signal+and+that+if+my+body+really+needs+energy+it+can+get+it+from+my+fat+stores. +This+book+gave+me+the+insight+I+needed+to+see+this+thing+through+and+re-train+myself. +Actually+I+have+been+losing+weight+with+the+6meal+plan+but+all+of+a+suden+I+just+stoped+losing+for+the+past+2+months. +And+that+is+frankly+IMO+a+sad+way+to+live+given+the+social+emphasis+placed+on+food%2c+the+environment+we+live+in+which+encourages+eating%2c+and+all+the+temptations+out+there. +Some+of+my+progress+pictures+from+earlier+in+the+year. +I+know+this+is+once+a+day%2c+but+I+decided+to+do+breakfast+and+then+dinner. +Actually%2c+I+think+the+spam+is+limited+to+the+General+Discussion+board. +Just+out+of+curiosity+i+am+57kg+and+want+to+drop+down+to+50kg+in+preferably+a+month+or+two+maximum. +I+never+felt+craving+just+a+healthy+hunger+before+dinner+times. +I+realised+that+I+was+eating+more+and+during+the+school+year%2c+I+only+had+time+for+1+or+1. +I+pretty+much+went+into+a+state+of+depression. +It+is+very+motivational+and+inspirational+to+read+about+all+the+success+that+others+have+experienced+who+are+also+eating+one+meal+a+day+like+myself. +6+today. +The+prospect+of+always+being+within+5+or+6+pounds+of+my+ideal+weight+instead+of+35+or+36+pounds+is+exciting. +I+want+to+lose+another+58lb+by+Christmas+and+I+figure+I+can+if+I+lose+around+2. +My+problem+is+that+I+suffer+from+acid+n+reflux+syndrome%2c+so+when+my+stomach+is+empty+I+get+these+awful+burps. +In+addition+the+temptation+is+to+replace+carbs+with+fat+which+is+double+the+calorie+density+of+carbs+or+protein. +Now+in+my+40s+i+dont+want+to+be+a+6+or+an+8+but+i+want+to+be+a+darn+lot+smaller+then+i+am%2c+so+tomorrow+will+be+my+first+day+trying+it+out%2c+how+much+i+weigh+isnt+the+issue+so+i+am+not+going+to+weigh+myself+i+am+going+to+go+off+my+clothes+size. +In+the+future+I+will+gradually+add+to+treats+if+I+want+to%2c+but+I+need+to+know+what+I+can+eat+each+day%2c+it+works+better+for+me+and+I+dont+pick. +At+the+moment+it+suits+me+to+have+one+main+meal+(slightly+smaller+than+I+would+usually+eat)+and+then+a+good+sized+snack+of+something+awesomely+tasty+just+before+I+go+to+bed. +Feeling+lethargic+mid+afternoon+is+a+productivity+killer+for+me. +I+knew+I+was+in+it+for+the+long+haul+so+it+was+motivation+for+me+to+be+strict+throughout+the+week. +Not+particularly+scientific%2c+but+if+nothing+else+it+gives+me+a+nice+reward+every+7+days. +I+particularly+like+the+way+you+no+longer+feel+like+a+victim+of+circumstance. +I+think+that+the+bottom+line+is+that+in+order+to+loose+weight%2c+you+have+to+eat+less+calories+than+you+burn. +I+did+this+before+i+ever+read+this+and+i+lost+5lbs+in+one+week+i+wasnt+hungry+during+the+days+so+i+would+eat+1+time+a+day+closerto+the+evening+but+would+eat+chips+and+cakes+to+snack+on+and+drink+water+it+worked+but+next+week+i+am+going+to+do+this+diet+really+since+i+realize+you+did+it+too+and+seen+your+results. +According+to+myfitnesspal+log+I+have+had+a+calorie+deficit+of+150-200+calories+below+my+1600-calorie+limit+every+day. +I+think+this+is+something+I+can+stick+to+long+term. +And+2)+I+am+worried+about+what+will+happen+when+I+re-introduce+lunch+to+my+diet. +Hi+Clair%2c+well+done+on+the+early+progress. +If+I+was+going+out+to+dinner%2c+I+just+had+a+bowl+of+soup+at+lunch. +I+realised+i+had+lost+that+signal+which+said+Gary+your+eating+far+too+much. +Having+a+wider+window+during+which+to+eat+sounds+like+a+great+way+to+do+it. +If+two+meals+a+day+is+shouting+out+to+you+as+the+way+to+keep+it+sustainable%2c+it+has+to+be+worth+experimenting+with+for+a+while. +I+spent+more+time+researching+the+best+way+to+lose+weight+than+I+invested+in+actually+doing+something+about+it. +Just+keep+trying+different+approaches+until+you+find+what+suits+you. +Of+course%2c+if+we+drop+calories+too+much+or+increase+the+energy+output+too+much%2c+the+body+will+adapt+to+slow+the+rate+of+fat+loss+and+preserve+energy+thinking+that+food+is+obviously+in+short+supply. +This+was+my+high+estimate+of+weight+loss. +After+some+careful+shopping+and+studying%2c+I+discovered+that+for+the+same+amount+of+money+or+less+than+what+I+was+spending+on+junk+food%2c+there+were+some+much+more+nutritious+foods+I+could+eat. +There+are+a+few+different+mental+attitudes+that+really+help. +When+I+started+preparing+the+bulk+of+my+meals+at+home%2c+I+realized+that+I+could+have+scrambled+eggs+and+toast+or+a+peanut+butter+sandwich+for+breakfast+instead+of+donuts+or+cold+cereals+loaded+with+sugar. +I+actually+feel+healthy+while+doing+this+diet%2c+And+this+one+meal+i+have+is+lunch+not+dinner. +This+worked+so+well+because+I+promised+myself+I+could+have+three+courses+everyday+if+I+wanted%3a+Soup%2c+main+course+and+dessert. +I+have+to+try+and+drink+at+least+2lts+of+water+from+6pm. +Do+it+for+how+it+will+make+you+feel+to+have+achieved+a+small+step+towards+your+goal+every+single+day. +I+must+admit+that+I+too+am+surprised+at+the+number+of+people+trying+this+diet. +I+hope+the+diet+is+still+working+for+you. +Without+a+doubt+my+own+progress+was+slowed+down+because+I+refused+to+count+calories. +I+have+been+trying+to+drink+more+water+to+fill+up. +I+usually+give+up+on+traditional+diets+very+quickly+but+this+approach+seems+very+easy+to+conform+to. +And+ill+make+sure+that+my+One+meal+a+day+consist+of+mostly+healthy+foods+majority+of+the+time. +I+definitely+liked+two+meals+a+day+and+I+did+lose+some+weight+doing+that. +Just+a+quick+update+my+1st+weeks+weightloss+is+2+lbs+but+hey+im+still+pleased+because+if+i+lose+2+lbs+a+week+for+10+weeks+thats+a+20lbs+loss. +But+instead+of+stuffing+myself+with+any+food+that+I+can+put+my+hands+on%2c+this+time+I+decided+to+stuff+myself+healthily. +Thank+you+so+much+for+sharing+your+story+with+us. +I+was+unhappy+about+something+in+my+life+and+this+was+my+way+of+pushing+back. +For+a+long+time+I+suspected+that+it+was+possible+to+lose+weight+eating+a+normal+balanced(ish)+diet. +When+i+first+got+depression+i+scored+myself+a+one. +I+started+drinking+water+this+week%2c+and+things+are+not+going+well. +I+ended+up+getting+all+the+way+down+to+157+before+stopping. +I+am+now+married%2c+34+yrs. +I+know+I+do+have+a+lot+of+body+fat+around+my+middle%2c+but+I+thought+with+eating+once+a+day%2c+cutting+down+on+carbs+and+killing+myself+at+the+gym+would+show+good+results. +Gone+were+my+days+as+a+single+guy+who+ate+a+light+lunch%2c+ran+4-5+miles+at+night%2c+and+then+gorged+on+a+pound+of+beef+(with+no+carbs)+at+around+11+pm+with+a+beer%2c+resulting+in+a+reasonably+fit+physique+for+me. +Unfortunately+your+weight+is+not+an+accurate+indicator+of+fat+loss. +Ive+been+reading+this+website+for+quite+a+few+days+as+i+googled+One+Meal+a+Day+diet+as+this+is+the+only+type+of+diet+that+has+ever+worked. +If+I+go+out+and+work+on+my+farm+weeding+crops%2c+building%2c+moving+dirt%2c+etc+then+I+could+easily+weight+236+by+2%3a00+pm. +I+saw+this+site+last+year+and+started+for+a+while. +There+have+been+times+when+I+felt+tired+too%2c+but+they+were+short+lived+and+as+with+your+own+experience+I+found+that+over+time+I+became+less+tired+and+infact+I+had+more+energy+throughout+the+day. +Since+I+just+started+yesterday%2c+I+have+no+results+to+post+yet. +There+were+times+when+the+reasons+and+the+feelings+associated+with+them+faded%2c+but+I+always+found+I+was+able+to+tap+back+into+them. +I+got+to+a+point+where+I+started+to+doubt+almost+everything+I+read+and+wanted+to+see+for+myself. +Yes+i+can+have+a+tendency+to+overthink+so+good+advice. +When+I+get+it+badly+wrong%2c+I+start+over+again+the+next+day. +I+found+the+best+way+for+myself+by+experimenting+and+I+still+do+experiment. +It+was+all+trial+and+error+in+the+beginning+and+I+made+a+lot+of+errors. +I+go+to+the+gym+and+workout+but+i+dont+do+enough+weights+to+bulk+up. +I+have+been+dieting+now+for+a+year+off+and+on. +I+started+the+1+meal+a+day+a+couple+weeks+ago+(with+a+snack+too)+and+have+lost+6+pounds. +So+David+thank+you+for+your+advice+and+tips+on+this+method+of+weight+loss+and+for+sharing+your+heart. +This+is+my+diet%2c+no+breakfast%2c+lunch+12. +Its+more+of+a+mental+challenge+to+stick+with+this+in+my+opinion%2c+but+the+further+you+go%2c+the+more+encouraged+you+are. +I+hear+lectures+all+the+time+how+bad+it+is+for+me. +I+will+explain+what+Stavia+is+at+the+end+of+this+post+but+now+let+me+go+back+to+the+morning. +Does+anyone+of+you+have+the+one+meal+at+lunch. +I+would+like+to+start+this+as+well. +No+matter+how+long+it+takes+me+I+will+lose+this+weight. +Give+it+another+little+while+and+you+may+discover+that+your+scale+weight+drops+by+a+pound+or+two+overnight. +I+used+to+go+to+class+at+8am%2c+with+back+to+back+classes%2c+I+did+not+any+time+for+lunch. +I+was+thrilled+to+receive+a+reply+from+you. +I+am+done+with+all+that+pressure+thanks+to+your+website. +After+I+lost+the+first+20lbs+I+was+pretty+much+straight+into+the+next+10lbs. +I+am+actually+at+DAY+1+of+this+diet+since+having+stumbled+upon+your+blog+yesterday. +The+key+to+mental+strength+is+to+tap+into+areas+of+your+life+where+you+are+ALREADY+STRONG. +Some+days+I+over+eat%2c+some+days+I+under+eat. +I+think+i+have+only+been+eating+about+1000+calories+per+day+which+is+not+enough. +I+want+to+start+back+because+eating+once+a+day+is+liberating+for+me. +It+feels+good+to+cut+free+of+the+trivialities+and+see+the+future+for+what+it+could+be+if+we+make+just+a+few+small+changes+in+the+present+moment. +What+I+would+like+to+know+is+whether+you+ever+drink+alcohol+and+if+so+beer%2c+wine+or+spirits. +I+think+you+are+nicely+placed+for+anotheer+good+month+(one+day+at+a+time%2c+of+course). +I+so+often+feel+this+and+giddy+too+when+I+am+dieting+especially+when+I+tried+the+one+meal+a+day+diet+the+first+time+like+a+year+ago+and+did+quit+for+that+reason+back+in+the+days. +It+then+becomes+much+more+of+a+lifestyle+than+a+diet+which+helps+to+keep+the+weight+off. +But+I+intend+to+start+walking+more+once+I+get+under+200+lbs. +I+was+told+the+reason+for+this+was+because+I+was+eating+too+seldom%2c+the+body+and+brain+assume+food+is+scarce+so+it+will+store+more. +I+am+a+lady+aged+32+and+I+have+been+having+trouble+losing+weight. +This+is+not+about+starving+myself+this+is+about+controlling+when+I+eat+so+that+I+can+be+assured+of+creating+a+moderate+caloric+deficit+every+day. +Understand+that+the+real+result+is+not+what+the+scale+says+but+whether+you+stuck+to+your+eating+plan. +I+would+love+to+hear+how+you+get+on%2c+so+please+do+come+back+and+let+us+know. +If+you+get+to+within+80%25+of+sticking+to+your+eating+plan+then+you+will+do+just+fine+over+time. +I+keep+seeing+stories+about+people+who+change+what+they+eat+radically+in+order+to+lose+weight+only+to+go+back+to+their+old+diet+and+put+the+weight+back+on. +I+wanted+to+limit+the+times+between+which+I+could+eat+a+meal+because+it+took+away+any+other+choice. +Thanks+again+for+all+the+encouraging+and+enthusiastic+remarks. +And+over+time%2c+for+those+who+feel+inclined+to+do+so%2c+we+can+make+changes+to+the+types+of+food+we+eat. +I+am+sleeping+much+better+with+my+empty+stomach+than+with+full+one. +I+write+this+as+if+a+friend+had+asked+me+to+describe+the+diet. +%2c+as+much+as+I+want. +For+dinner%2c+I+ate+whatever+I+wanted+plus+dessert.
